God's Design for the Church (Foreword by Glenn Lyons) : A Guide for African Pastors and Ministry Leaders

What Is the Church? Foundational Truths from Gods Word At the beginning of the twentieth century, Christians in Africa numbered approximately nine millionby the end, that number had grown to more than 380 million. As the number of Christians continues to grow, African pastors are often overwhelmed and in desperate need of guidance. Drawing from three decades of pastoral experience in Zambia, Conrad Mbewe has written a comprehensive handbook specifically for African pastors and church leaders. Structured around twenty commonly asked questions about Gods design for the church, this helpful resource covers topics ranging from the definition of church and the role of church members to the importance of doctrine. Through this book, Mbewe aims to equip pastors and leaders with biblical principles that will permeate the landscape of Africa and transform its churches for generations to come.
